Woolmer's murder linked to Dawood, Al Qaeda

Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer's mysterious death took a new twist with a media report here linking his murder to Dawood Ibrahim and Al Qaeda.

A report in The Sun claimed a Pakistan-based bookie was thrown out of Woolmer's room after an altercation with the coach.

The daily quoted sources claiming that the bookie, who had vanished after Woolmer's death on March 18, is an associate of Dawood Ibrahim, who is wanted over funding Al Qaeda and also for the 1993 Mumbai blasts.

The report quoted intelligence officials, who tour with the Indian cricket team, as saying that the bookie was seen at the World Cup in Jamaica with Dawoods brother Anees Ibrahim.

Jamaican officials, however, said they were not told by the Pakistani cricketers about any such row between the coach and the bookie.

The report, however, claimed that two Pakistani players, in their statement to the police, did mention about the furious bust-up.

"Bob Woolmer said he had thrown a bookie out of his room. He didn't give a reason," an official said.

Deputy Commissioner of Jamaican Police Mark Shields said, "This issue has come up before but we have so far been unable to substantiate it.

"But we are prepared to consider it further now that we have names and more details. We will be investigating."

Woolmer was found strangled in his 12th floor room of the Pegasus Hotel room on March 18, hours after Pakistan's shock World Cup defeat against minnows Ireland.

What i heard before was that he was an indian bookie whom bob through out of his room before he was been killed.

Indian bookies linked to Woolmer's murder


LONDON: Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer had told his players that he had thrown out a Mumbai-based bookie from his hotel room in Kingston, Jamaica, after a 'blazing argument' on March 17, a day before he was murdered there.

'Guardian' newspaper on Monday reported that police said two unnamed Pakistani players had told them during interrogation that Woolmer, who died a day after Pakistan shockingly crashed out of the World Cup in the West Indies, had narrated to them the incident.

"A senior government official told 'Guardian' that two Pakistan players told Jamaican police that Woolmer had a blazing argument with a bookmaker based in Mumbai on Saturday night.

'Bob Woolmer said he had just thrown a bookie out of his room. He didn't give any reasons,' the official said," the newspaper wrote.

However, Mark Shields, a former Scotland Yard superintendent and now No. 2 in the Jamaican police force, was unaware of any bookmakers having stayed at the Pegasus hotel, or any suggestions of involvement of an Indian bookie.

Indian cricket officials also dismissed the allegations as 'speculation and stories', said the paper.

The investigating agencies have not ruled out anyone for the crime and, according to one police official, they are doing their job with an 'open mind'.

The Jamaica police and the anti-corruption unit of the International Cricket Council (ICC) are investigating, amongst other angles, the role of those involved in betting and match-fixing in the murder of the 58-year-old former England player.

The agencies are now trying to decode the footage from the hotel CCTV cameras, after having questioned the entire Pakistani squad. The team has since left the West Indies for London en route to Pakistan, except for two administrative officials who have been asked to stay back.

Pakistan lost to the West Indies and then shockingly to minnows Ireland on March 17 to crash out of the World Cup, raising the ghost of match-fixing.

"The Pakistan government on Sunday floated to 'Guardian' the idea that Indian betting syndicates were involved in the murder, citing what two Pakistan players told Jamaican police when questioned on Thursday," wrote the paper.

"A senior official said three bookies had checked into the Pegasus hotel before the start of the World Cup. But this theory was denied by Indian cricket officials, and treated skeptically by senior Jamaican detectives."

A chambermaid found Woolmer unconscious in his room, No. 374, on the 12th floor of Pegasus hotel in Kingston on the morning of March 18. He was declared dead when he was taken to a local hospital.

The investigating agencies are now trying to find if the murderer or murderers, have been captured by the CCTV cameras, fixed near the elevators and the service entry staircase on the other end of the 12th floor.

They are also questioning various other people, including the West Indies captain Brian Lara, Ireland captain Trent Johnson, Pakistan fitness trainer Murray Stevenson, another Pakistan support staff Darren Lifson and leg-spinner Danish Kaneria, who stayed on the same 12th floor, according to Guardian.

"Inzamam-ul-Haq, the Pakistan captain, was also on the 12th floor until shortly before Woolmer's murder, when he moved to the fifth floor. He was questioned by police on Saturday about why he had changed rooms and told them he had wanted to be closer to the other players," the newspaper said.

"Brian Lara, the West Indies captain, has been questioned and all members of the West Indies and Ireland teams will be asked to volunteer a statement, fingerprints and a DNA swab."

The Pakistan team had been swabbed for DNA before they left.

The newspaper said that Pakistan has asked to 'send a detective to Jamaica to investigate' what it claims were links between an Indian bookmaker and the murder.

Two Pakistani diplomats from Washington are now in Kingston to act as liaison between the government and the police.

Though Shields stressed that no member of the Pakistan team was under suspicion, he said he was in discussion with the Pakistani diplomats about what would happen were he to want any individuals to return to Jamaica.

The police say it isn't like that though 😕

I am not even sure if that was a murder. If it was a murder then how come bob was only unconscious when he was found? And 2nd the way he was found, In his washroom without clothes and there was blood and something else in the washroom, he could not be in that condition if he was with a person he knew or with anyone who came in his room without struggle.

well dis is more detailed.... 😛 ...thnks

If the Indian and Pakistan Bookies were staying in the same hotel is true..The next question is who gave them the info that which hotel teams are staying..Do they announce it where the teams are going to stay and what room no Bob Woolmer stays..I thought they may have some kind of links with official or team members or the hotel staff..I am sure we can expect a movie from Bollywood or Hollywood in this conspiracy..
